My dad grew up in a working-class Jewish neighbourhood, and I got a scholarship from my dad's union to go to college. I went there to get an education, not as an extension of privilege.

But you know what? When I die, everybody is invited to come take a selfie at my funeral. Except for my enemies. They're not invited to the funeral, period.

Growing up listening to rap music, you almost feel like you should have haters. That's an important part of being a successful musician. It's a good thing, I guess.

Anyways, trying to express yourself to the press is often like arguing with a hysterical person.

I'm pretty sure that the Walkmen are the band that I've paid to see the most in my life.

Playing 'Tetris' for 15 minutes is like meditation.

As an artist you have the luxury of maybe presenting an issue in a certain way, as opposed to actually solving it.
